Fingerprint Notification Gesture Removed

[nickthaskater]

The gesture to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to show the notification panel at any time has been removed in OneUI 5.1.1 on the Fold 5.

This gesture was available and working well in OneUI 5.1 on my old Fold 4. I used the gesture all the time and it was a great user experience feature. This never should been removed on the Fold 5.

The suggestion the agent gave in the attached screenshot to return to the home screen and use the swipe down gesture from there is not a reasonable option.

Please bring this gesture back in an update soon.

OHHH I was so confused. Thought it moved to some other settings. Always thought that feature was cool, though never used it, because I'd accidentally open the panel all the time.

Rip the gesture!

Was debating to upgrade to the Fold 5 from the 4. This option being removed is reason enough to not upgrade.

Still more than enough other improvements to enjoy the 5 over the 4. You can compensate using the Good Lock One Hand Operation+ module with a custom gesture, but it definitely leaves a sour taste seeing such a quality of life option removed.

Yes I completely agree please bring this feature back I used it all the time an amazing one handed feature, and that was one of the first features I was looking for when I got my Z F5 not happy with this.

Used this more than any other feature - feels like a glaring mistake using the fold 5 now. Please bring back!

I seriously keep ghost swiping and was driving myself madd looking for this. 

I dunno how i will recover from this... 

Agreed bring it back. it was ultra useful. 

ALSO make it to where it has MORE functionality even....But ill be happy with just pulling down the notification bar at least LOL

I agree
Please bring back the feature
This is the most useful thing especially in the Galaxy Fold series
This makes the whole experience much more comfortable.
